THINGS The Best Leaders Remember

1. Make daily time for deep reflection. No point in being strikingly busy around the wrong things.

2. Business is about people. Grow your team. Have shared experiences. Foster laughter and high spirit. A small group of devoted people can move mountains.

3. Honor wins. Really easy to go for the fast dollar and the easy opportunity in these uncertain times. Yet, the best leaders and business stay true to themselves. They get closer to their mission and values in hard times. They prefer to focus on what's the right thing to do versus what's the easy thing to do. And that makes them last long after the recession ends.

4. Do the unexpected. The marketplace rewards fresh value. Blaze a path that no one's blazed. Think thoughts no one's thought. Originality matters.

Salman the most kissed Indian actor

Salman Khan’s well-sculpted physique, handsome good looks, and raw sex appeal have won him die-hard fans. Women find him irresistible and men look up to him.

Salman is not only a famed actor but also a painter, crooner and scriptwriter, and perhaps, these are a few of the reasons why, he is the most kissed and photographed at Madame Tussauds.

According to reports, Salman’s waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London is the most kissed sculpture. His frame is far more domineering than the others - Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Sachin Tendulkar (most recently). It is said that visitors from all over the world at the wax museum cannot help kissing the hot actor.

According to Liz Edwards, spokesperson for Madame Tussauds, London, Salman Khan beats all the other Indian personalities in the popularity charts. He is also one of the most kissed stars as well as photographed celebrity.

And when it comes to Hollywood personalities, Justin Timberlake is said to be the most hugged of all celebrities in the museum.

Well, few Indian can boast of such a fan following at Sallu’s age. Get going, kissable Sallu!

Study finds software piracy growing.

Piracy rates are down in roughly half countries surveyed, but cost is up
WASHINGTON - Software piracy grew last year, accounting for 41 percent of all PC software installed, with losses to companies estimated at $53 billion, the Business Software Alliance said on Tuesday.

Worldwide piracy rates rose from 38 percent of software in business and home computers in 2007 to 41 percent in 2008 despite successes in fighting piracy in China and Russia, according to the study done by market researcher IDC for the BSA.

Global PC software sales grew 14 percent last year to $88 billion.

While there was progress on piracy in some countries, with rates down in roughly half of the countries surveyed and flat in one-third, overall "the dollar figure is actually up," said Robert Holleyman, president and CEO of the BSA.

Holleyman said that while U.S. piracy was about 20 percent of the total market, the lowest in the world, it was a major problem because more software was sold in the United States than anywhere else.

Holleyman said much of those losses came from small businesses that use unlicensed copies of popular software programs. They might have 50 PCs but only pay for rights to run the software on 25 of those machines. "The U.S. has the highest single dollar loss," he said.

China's piracy rate had dropped from 90 percent of all software in 2004 to 80 percent last year while Russia's piracy rate dropped five percentage points in the past year to 68 percent, the study found.

The progress in China came because the government decided to use only legitimate software, because Internet service providers cooperated in taking pirates off the Internet when asked, and because of other steps, said Holleyman.

The study found seven countries with piracy rates of 90 percent or higher: Georgia, Bangladesh, Armenia, Zimbabwe, Sri Landa, Azerbaijan and Moldova.
